Yep, I can officially say I'm done with MY boxes! AND I've got most of the walls, etc. decorated! In fact today I took inside pictures that I'm going to put up so all can see

Love the lavender, the bee and his wings couldn't have been better, the lighting is so perfect it is breathtaking and the frame puts it all together most elegantly!!!!
Just "bee" more careful about the wind!!!! You'll ruin the macro!!!

You've got a very good composition here IMHO. It's a wee bit soft focussed but not a big problem.

Thank you so much! You're the only one to mention the frame...I was a little unsure of it (it feels a bit more sophisticated than my more 'regular' style) but I really like the overall effect! I'm glad that it works for you

If you hang some of the blooms upside down in a dry area, you can have dried flowers. I'm told that they retain some of their fragrance. I've never been able to to it, so I don't know.
But they're lovely.

kayaksailor In reply to alimuse [2008-05-12 02:46:45 +0000 UTC]

I've done that with roses...I'll try it with the lavender - we've got a great tall garage to hang them in up out of the way! Thanks for the idea
